A pitch-black cry wells up from the depths of the soul
An early masterpiece by Dee Dee Bridgewater, fusing her African roots with jazz tradition.
Her dynamic vocals are perfectly supported by the heavy backing provided by Cecil Bridgewater and others, and her mysterious and powerful delivery on the title track, "Afro Blue," proves her excellence as a jazz vocalist.
